According to “Harris’s Guide to Churches & Cathedrals“, “The West front was built 1075 – 92 by Bishop Remigius and has been partially covered by a later Gothic screen”. Lincoln Cathedral’s website informs me that Bishop Remigius was a Benedictine monk and the first Norman Bishop of Lincoln, the largest Diocese in Medieval England.
